Through twenty years of investigative television programmes, Meditel Productions in London has collected a unique archive – the Meditel Archive – of the science and law surrounding AIDS and injury from prescribed drugs. The resource of 120,000 of Meditel’s research documents plus the 8 year archive of specialist magazine Continuum, plus 20 Meditel videos, and video footage, demonstrates in incomparable detail, debates that have taken place behind the closed doors of a scientific community. The Meditel and Continuum archives are on permanent loan to IRF.

THE CLIENT BASE

Every week IRF receives requests for specialist information, current and historical, on issues in science and medicine addressed in the work of Meditel and Continuum. An internet archive combined with regularly updated educational CD/DVD ROMs will give access to this record of the process of change and debate in science, providing an interactive structure by which academics, patients, writers and others can draw on original data to further their work in these fields. We expect this number of requests to grow as awareness of the new digitised database develops. This will make the database website attractive to advertisers and sponsors interested to associate themselves with this content-driven resource.
